Just saw on my status checker that it sent a SCALE email and I got the email..but still haven't heard back as far as a decision that has been made. I'm hoping that getting the SCALE email is a good thing, but I have a feeling they just sent it to whoever put down the SCALE program as any one of their choices. Anyone else get the same thing?

What is the e-mail about? I didn't get the e-mail even though SCALE was my 2nd choice behind full-time day.

I just got the same e-mail/status checker update, but have yet to receive a decision as well...weird

Well, I really want to stay in Cali so I applied to Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, USC as my top choices, and Southwestern, Loyola, and Pepperdine as back ups, but I think Southwestern is a great school. I'm not a name snob, I kind of don't care, to be honest. I think a driven person will make it out of any school. Plus, a scholarship at a school not ranked super high may still make more sense than sticker price just for a name, u know?
